Fellow controllers,

Yesterday, I was manning CYUL_APP and started a handoff to BOS_CTR. Since they were hosting the FNO, I assumed they would be quite busy, so I did my HO's sooner than later.

My question is the following: when you get no reply to your handoff request (neither Accept or Refuse) to you allow the aircraft to enter the next controller's airspace, or do you vector him to keep him within your airspace?

I didn't have to do it yesterday since Boston accepted my handoff at the last minute, but I was wondering what you guys do in such a situation.

Talking to my colleague, we both agreed that, since the next controller didn't refuse the handoff, we would let the plane enter the airspace at the maximum altitude given by the Terminal, and keep him on our frequency until Boston accepts.

What do you guys think?

Michel.
